Glimmer

A shimmering star slides down the horizon, it’s light flickering dim.

—

A golden maiden gazing upwards, hair whisping in the breeze

—

A glisten of tear, sliding down her cheek, kissing the rosy glow.

—

A memory of loss fading beneath the sunset, dissolving to grey.

—

A blade within her heart, sadness and pain

—

Will the sun ever rise again?

—

There upon the darkness, a glimmer of hope

—

Breath caught upon her throat, the last tear falls slowly

—

A drop, no splash, disappearing into the darkness by her feet

—

A faint light, barely a glow, appears upon the eastern row

—

A glimmer of hope… just a glimmer

—

So hold on… onto the glimmer

Dragons & Heroes

Dark feathers fall likes snowflakes,
blood upon their tips.
Circling spirling downwards,
death on angel’s lips.
Forward all casscading,
the plunge along she takes.
Hoping for a hero,
whose heart alone mistakes.
Darkness swoops downward,
dragon’s breath rests her skin.
Claws of iron smelting,
capture her again.
Eyes of fire seething,
yet no fear along may be.
For though an angel’s falling
dragon’s heroes all will see.

Dawning

Fallen starlight upon meadows dark
Silent moonlight with shadows stark
Ever gleaming in the darkness shine
Glimmers of hope that once were mine
Reaching ever ward towards the daybreak
Struggling against the darkest fear quake
Knowing and believing yet fighting still
To reach upwards beyond dismal hill
Towards the new day the bright beyond
To hope springing up brightly dawned
Fearing naught but the glorious one
Eagerly awaiting the rising sun
